    Brief

    This is a call-off contract under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System to deliver life skills and personal development courses at HMP Chelmsford. The supplier will design and deliver a comprehensive programme combining personal development and employability skills for male prisoners who are not currently engaged in the standard regime due to refusal, or who cannot attend mainstream education for safety or health reasons. The course should equip participants with practical life skills, build confidence, and prepare them for employment or further education upon release. Prospective suppliers should have experience in offender education, curriculum design for vulnerable populations, and proven ability to engage disengaged learners in a secure environment.
